26 STORRS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 
Room No. 3. Sections of this room can be seen in Figs. 3 
and 4. ‘This room is practically the same size as No. 1 and 
is fitted with glass cases in which glassware may be stored 
away from the dust. This room is separated from room No. 1 
and can be kept quite cool; and it is in this room that most of 
the real investigation work is done. 
Standing on the table in Fig. 3 may be seen a new Bausch 
& Lomb microscope purchased during the year for the bacter1- 
ological department at a cost of about $80. While this instru- 
ment is not fitted with some of the fine attachments which 
might be desirable, it has most of the adjustments which are 
needed for the work of the Station and is a very good instru- 
ment. ‘Toward the left of Fig. 3 may be seen the torsion bal- 
ances, which are used for weighing coarse materials, and, at the 
extreme left, one end of the office desk, which stands with its 
back against the dust-proof room. This room has windows on 
both the east and the north, which furnish suitable light for 
microscopic work during the entire day. 
In Fig. 3 can be seen a small cold storage chamber, which 
is connected with the refrigerator plant in the creamery be- 
low. Some of the culture materials used must be kept below 
a certain temperature in order to prevent spoiling; and since 
these temperatures are below the ordinary room temperatures 
during warm weather, a place in which they can be kept cold is 
a necessity. This cool chamber furnishes such a convenience 
without the expense of using ice. It is also very serviceable 
in connection with experiments in which cold temperatures are 
desired for keeping milk. 
In Fig. 5 will be seen a small balance room, in which is 
placed a pair of Becker’s short arm chemical balances used for 
fine weighing. Beyond the balance room, at the left end of the 
picture, may be seen a door leading to the photographic room, 
which is well equipped for photographic work. These two
